Watch: Zverev, Federer In Baseline and Bongo Battle

Roddick:
Federer Third Favorite At Slams
Zverev edged the 17-time Grand Slam champion, 7-6 (1), 6-7 (4), 7-6 (4) in a two-and-a-half hour duel to stake Germany to a 1-0 lead over Switzerland at the Hopman Cup in Perth.
"Against Roger you know you have to play every single point or you have no chance,” said Zverev, who
defeated Federer, 7-6 (4), 5-7, 6-3, in advancing to the Halle final last June
. “You have to play it at a very high level otherwise he will beat you quite easily. “It has always been like that and always will be until he stops playing.”
During the second set of
Belinda Bencic's
6-3, 6-4 win over Germany's
Andrea Petkovic
, Federer and Zverev staged a bongo battle on the big screen as fans roared.
Federer and the 19-year-old Bencic beat Zverev and Petkovic, 4-1, 4-1 in the decisive FAST4 mixed doubles matches to lift Switzerland to a 2-1 victory over Germany.
The Swiss can clinch a spot in Saturday's final by beating the French pair of
Richard Gasquet
and
Kristina Mladenovic
on Friday night. France swept Great Britain.
